What themes recur in your dreams?

The other dream thread got me thinking about this. I used to write down my dreams and this helped me notice patterns and themes that happen again and again. Mine seem to be, off the top of my head:
Public restrooms/lockerrooms Parking garages Being chased Shopping malls Being at a completely foreign college campus
What kinds of things pop up in your dreams time and time again?

whaaaat? so you're asleep and you know you're dreaming but are aware of the fact that you can't fully open your eyes in the dream? that's bizarre

Most recent recurrences have been sexual relationships with a famous woman(s).
When i was younger I had the same exact dream about 6 times to the point where I knew the entire dream and that I was dreaming. This one was a haunting dream though not a good one.

There's some presence that has and will follow me through multiple dreams/settings. Sometimes I'm even aware that I'm dreaming, it'll just be a "normal" (kind of a stretch to call any of dreams normal, they're all abstract and make no sense in the real world) dream and then it'll show up and I'll have to start running. Eventually I'll wake up and fall back asleep and have a different dream and it'll show again. I don't actually know what "it" is.. Just some shadow creature that scares the shit out of me in my dream. (I'm not saying it's a real presence).
Starting a new school and having no idea where to go.
My wife leaving me for some other dude.
Trying to save my brother but always just not fast enough and he dies anyways (these started after my brother was killed).
Being back in Juvi.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

yeah that's why keeping track of themes in your dreams is a good way to lucid dream! back when i was really trying to get into it, i had a dream i was in a bathroom and realized i was dreaming and so i started flying. then i got really excited that i had control in my dream and woke up

Never really been able to lucid dream, when i knew I was dreaming in the one I explained second.
I tried to get out of the dream, I was really young and my way out of the dream was screaming dad really loud and I actually did scream it and my dad did wake me up.
The dream kept proceeding in the same exact way it did every single time I had it atleast 8 times.

I used to levitate in my dreams a lot. Felt so real, i'd be walking with friends and say "check this out" and start floating up haha.
Most of my dreams take place in old neighborhoods i used to live in, always somewhat familiar but foreign. Houses in my dreams are always really intricate and often have hidden rooms and shit.

I dream of doing heroin from time to time, and I feel really angry/gulity towards myself during my dream when I do it.

Yeah its really weird.
No matter how hard I try, I know that Im dreaming but I cannot open my eyes all the way. Im just running around trying to find myself or guess where I am, with people talking to me and things happening. But my eyes arent all the way open and the whole time Im thinking how bad I want to open my eyes. I hate those dreams

Once I dreamt of being eaten alive (quite painful and really afraid of bleeding to death at the start of it......) by these excuses for people.. while I was fucked forcefully by someone I knew some time ago... it was a great expereance. Anything similar with any of you?
Dreamchanging... well.. I put alot of time and effort into learning this.. and everytime I dream.. I am aware of it.. and can change it, but even if i am being tortured, which have happened, I wouldnt really see a reason to change anything...

Last night I had a dream that took place in the same imaginary (at least to my knowledge) setting that several others have in the last couple years. It's a modern looking house, with big trees all around that remind me of the PNW. There are other houses nearby but they are all on acreage plots. Underneath the modern looking house is a decrepit basement straight out of a horror movie, that has one of those primitive mesh-wire elevators leading down it.
In one dream my friends and I were finding tons of cubies under the surrounding trees, but when we tried to take them back to the house the ghost of a witch prevented us from coming inside. We tried to run to a neighbor's house but whenever we got a good ways away we'd suddenly be teleported back to right outside the witch house.
In another my family and some other people were huddled inside the exact same house as a giant mechanical spider and some other monsters were attacking. We were shooting at them with WWII era rifles but they weren't doing shit and there was a distinct feeling of our imminent demise at hand.
Last night's dream was really crazy, someone was going around and rounding people up, myself included, and forcing us at gunpoint onto the primitive elevator. When we got downstairs we were put into different rooms to await what I gathered to be torture at the hands of a sadist of sorts. I can still remember his face and the expression on it.
I only dream when I don't smoke weed for a day or so, so I don't have too many to point to but these ones really trip me out. I don't recognize the house from real life, even as a map from a game or anything. If I ever do see the house irl I'll be sure to leave as soon as possible though.

I don't have reccuring themes in my dreams, they are all over the place. Extremely lucid too. My brain never cease to amaze me.

Getting arrested/jail
Shooting at people that are shooting at me
Beating members of my mother's side of the family senseless (We used to physically fight all the time)
Running from legal trouble
The dreams I remember usually float between those themes, while flashing through memorable locations throughout my life

I have a number of dreams where I appear to see some. Its almost as if I will notice something in a dream which I couldn't without it, that I couldn't ever not have had this dream & I wanted it. I really wanted it to happen, I really thought to myself oh wow I'm going to have a dream about someone wonderful. You just get like that y'know? You will think of a dream. You will decide to recall it before having your next dream, you will think about the dream that just passed and your next one at the same time. You will have some dreams where you appear to have been dreaming of a dream where you were the projection of a new dream. A dream that you previously could never have had, but now you have dreamed of it & can positively say with firm conviction that you had the dream. I have so many dreams, every night I have so many dreams that go on. I will dream of some place I recently visited or maybe of the past. The past doesn't always enter inside my dreams though. I won't be able to bring up some incidents from my past since if they came up in my dreams I'd have nightmares. I have some dreams where I will try to leave the dream to retreat back to the real world, where I must return to soon enough.

Oh yes? Do they come up often? Motorcycles that is. Because my cousin has a dream where he has projected an image of a motorcycle but doesn't view it. It can't view this motorcycle, it won't allow it to view it.
We were going by on motorcycle three years ago with a friend from Cuba, just left the police behind and gave them the wrong address to where they found the bike. They also gave them some information about a stolen car. But they were sent from Russia three years ago. Where did they come from? Who came with them? Who saw them enter the country? Were there eye witnesses? Were people saying "I can't wait when he enters this country!"
